arena: Quake-like multiplayer shooter

+ +

Aftershock (working title) is a multiplayer old-school arena shooter being made in Unity. It’s a hobby project that I have been working on since 2016. It started as a warmup project before jumping into developing an MMO, but I have since learned how much work goes into making just a multiplayer fps. Especially as a solo project.

+ +

At it’s core, Aftershock is supposed to be my attempt at recreating a mix of Quake 3 / Quake Live along with whatever else I decide to add.

+ +

Main features (so far):

+ +

p2p multiplayer
support for custom maps
vq3-like movement
rocket launcher + rocket jumping
health pickups
3 gamemodes (FFA, TDM, Race)

+ +

I’m in the process of rewriting a lot of systems in the game at the moment because I’m switching from janky p2p multiplayer to an authoritative server setup with client-side prediction (more).

Game dev is back on the menu!

The CompSci department at my uni hosts an annual LAN party with tournaments +in the usual titles (csgo, lol, trackmania, etc). I’ve had the idea for a +while now that it would be amazing to get arena to a playable, +fun state, and have a LAN tournament to really put it to the test.

I want to start working on my game again, and I want to it to be playable in +time for the LAN party.

I have about 5 weeks to make it happen.

What to expect

I have a few technical blog posts planned, but I’ll also just be posting +about anything I that interests me.

I think I’ll start doing monthly status updates (like this post), much like +the engineers at +sourcehut.org. +I’d also like to start posting (weekly) development logs for arena.

Finally, I have a lot more services I need to start hosting before I really +call this my platform. You can see the list of publicly available +services by clicking the link at the top of the page. For now, I’m +prioritising hosting the services that I use regularly.

That’s all for now!

+ +

This is probably your first time seeing it, but it just went through a +major makeover. I’ve archived the old +design if +you want to check it out.

+ +

The new design is blazingly fast, light as a feather, and anyone can navigate it.

+ +

You’ll find my contact details and important links on the homepage. +There are links to more information about myself and this website, projects I’m +working on, and my RSS feed at the top. +I’ve included my PGP key if you wish to send me mail privately.

+ +

This redesign was heavily inspired by bt.ht and +drewdevault.com.

+ + + +

+ +

I want to start working on my game again, and I want to it to be playable in +time for the LAN party.

+ +

I have about 5 weeks to make it happen.

+ +
